I'm hoping this link works. If it doesn't, I'm sure there will be PLENTY of footage of this in the near future. It's a third-party, so I kinda' doubt Imagineering did anything more than some localization for its new home, but don't assume anything I say is anything more than speciation.
I'm a little in awe right now, so I'm likely to hyperbolize, but this may be the coolest M&G-style experience in Orlando.
You have anything to add, @rct247 ?

That is very cool.

Stupid question. Is it a robot or a person inside?

 

[Jones14]

It's a person. As of now, this is slated to run through August, but it's unclear as to whether it will get an extension.

I really like this kind of stuff. These types of things that when I was 7, I would remember forever. Like 'yeah I saw a robot at Disney World, that's not an everyday thing.'

 

[roj2323]

Looks like a great way to test some Star Wars Land tech. The voice is a little obnoxious but it's a robot after all.

 

[KrazyKat]

Very cool!!! I'll be spending my birthday at the Magic Kingdom this Wednesday, hope to see this.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Pretty cool if it's a robot. Less cool, but still pretty fun, if it's a person inside.

First thing that came to mind.....EPBOTS!

For anyone who want to know what they did.....Here you go...

Looks like they deleted the video - here is a screen grab I was able to get.

awesome!

It's one of those guys they have at the Robot Restaurant! (Little after the 3 minute mark)

 

[dreamfinder]

Seems to be similar to how the good fairies move around in Festival of Fantasy. Still nice to see something new in the area though.

 

[Kman101]

Nice to see them doing something like this! Very welcome addition. I still miss PUSH though ...

 

[Bacon]

Does anyone know when this happens? Is it random? Does it happen multiple times a day?

 

[rct247]

He comes out about 6 times a day for 20 mins at a time. He typically comes out starting at 9am and finishes around 3pm. He appears usually around the stage and the Cool Ship.

I don't know, I think he needs to be more robotic? Cause you know, when I think futuristic space robot, they have a southern accent.. lol. Great idea though.

I like him! I can't imagine how sweaty poor iCan will be in the summer though

 

[dreamscometrue]

I like him! I can't imagine how sweaty...

You can't imagine, but iCan
